Okay, I just did a find-replace on the domain names, so they should work now.

It is a great idea that had to take a ton of time! Sure appreciate the effort.

Just a heads-up ...
The frugal install link goes to a hopelessly out-dated Wiki page.

We are preparing to move and I cannot find my notes and wanted to be certain
that I followed the latest and greatest steps for backup and a frugal install of 2.16._________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com

This is a great list of very useful resources, however I think it is more a list of resources, rather than 'for beginners'.

I suppose it depends on how you define 'beginner', but I would suggest it be changed slightly to get 'absolute beginners' who just want to get up and running in Puppy, off to a good quick start.

My suggestion would be to change the red 'First' to 'Second', and add a new red 'First' with simply this link to point 'extreme' and 'absolute' beginners to the basics that they need to get up and running with Puppy, otherwise they could suffer from info overload before they get anywhere.

I agree - and was excited that I found the newbie step by step link !!
Unfortunately the link you give above is broken!!

No, not possible. Subsections can get a separate panel, and announcements can get a sort of separation within the main panel. Stickies just get to be sticky._________________Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

This is a crucial issue because Puppy uses its own bootloader, GRUB. You have to pick one or the other as the
primary bootloader for your computer.

Now for the decision. Do you want to continue using Windows as the primary bootloader? If so, you will need to
modify Windows so it presents a startup menu that includes Puppy as one of the options. The Puppy Universal
Installer (PUI) cannot set this up because you need to make the changes from inside Windows. There is an on-line
tutorial called the Lin'N'Win Project that will do the job.
Find it here http://www.icpug.org.uk/national/linnwin/step00-linnwin.htm

Or do you want Puppy to be the primary bootloader? This will involve installing GRUB, which Puppy can do
automatically. Windows will now run as an option from the GRUB boot menu. However, because GRUB is a Linux
product, this will only work if you have installed Puppy into its own partition. And the partition must be formatted
using a Linux-compatible filesystem such as ext2.

The PUI will refuse to install GRUB in a FAT or NTFS partition, because it assumes that the partition contains
Windows. Watch for the cryptic error message "This partition is not Linux".
